    Is that orange peel, or were you going for a satin look.

    Seriously, looks fine.

                  Nice work. Looks like the XR1200 flat black paint job.

                      I love the satin, or matte look.

                          It's amazing what those thin little pinstripes achieve. I like it - nice.

                              I does look good, but I think it's funny they named a paint color "Rat Rod"
